We live in a society where greed exceeds need. Humans destroy the very earth that sustains their life for momentary gain. The planet is literally falling apart in front of our eyes and humans continue to abuse it. But abuse is all we know. Humans are the only creatures on this planet that knowingly, willingly, torment other living beings. Most of all each other. For money, for revenge..even for fun. There are humans who get pleasure from torturing animals and people.
I’ve read articles on a practice in Indonesia of people using female orangutans for prostitution, making them wear make up and perfume, and using them as prostitutes. The male orangutans are used in boxing matches.
I’ve read articles on men raping dogs and goats.
I’ve read articles on animals being tortured and starved for the circus.
I’ve read articles of people leaving their dogs tied up till they finally died of starvation.
I’ve read articles of lions, tigers and any animal that had the misfortune of being breathtakingly beautiful being hunted and killed for sport.
I’ve read articles of sea creatures choked and poisoned because we filled their homes with plastic and toxic waste. Dolphins hunted and killed in the name of “tradition”
All these animals suffering alone, scared and with no one to help them, no one to talk to at the hands of humans and their greed.
And you tell me this world and this life is worth living?
